I know, sounds a bit bogus, but this color description of brown might as well be a description of the man Neal has become.
I was having a convo today in the forums in another thread about this, but clothing is used to tell a story. Neal’s clothing are in some ways very grown up Bae (with the scarf and the colors) but they are heightened to a level of sophistication. So no. Not bogus.
Both Neal and Hook are centuries old, and yet Hook persists in acting immaturely. Many times, I’ve noted how selfishly Hook seeks attention and sulks when he doesn’t get it. By contrast, Neal is capable of buckling down and getting the job done. He may not be flashy, and some may consider him dull and boring, even unpopular, just like the color brown. Yet, he maintains he quiet confidence. He speaks words of hope to Emma that he will see her and Henry again and gives assurances that it’s not over between them.
Yes. Also known as the entire NL journey after Neal was alive.
